Ok, I tried to upgrade from the original WM6 to WM6.1... didn't work (Phone was freezing at the HTC boot up logo)... tried the hard reset many time and still doesn't work. So I recovered with the original Rogers WM6 ROM using the bootloader mode but phone still doesn't boot. Now I only get a black screen.... Please help... not sure if there is anymore hope for my S621.

[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
I got both phones.

The biggest difference that will hit you after you hold both in your hands is the quality of the phones. The resolution of the HD makes the Omnia look like a ancient phone.

The screen is obviously smaller but even the WQVGA can't improve the look of the screen.

You will run into more stuck pixel problems with the Omnia, i held 2 different Omnias in my hand and both had more than 5 stuck pixels each.

The fact that 3.5mm doesn't exist will piss you off initially but you will probably get used to it. I simply can't stand it though, i prefer the freedom of having the 3.5mm. The other reason that the USB connection for the PC is the same as the headphone port, in other words, it's all proprietary will probably peeve you off a bit.

Other than that, be sure to be shocked at the difference in quality (not phone quality but display quality).

It's close to half the price though, so big choices.
[Touch HD General] redrazr7791:
Ok thanks guys for the info. I think what I will do, I go to a verizon wireless store and mess with the Omnia there. Since the Gsm version that would have to be imported is the same as the CDMA version here in the U.S., it should give me an easy comparison:D:D
[Touch HD General] alchopop:
Had an Omnia for 5 months!!!

What a peice of junk.

TomTom dosn't run properly without 3rd party apps.

Yhe screen is rubbish, slightest bit of muck and its got a scratch.

Wireless functions, including WiFi, GSM, GPRS etc are crap. I never held a connection on my wifi at home for more than 30 seconds (and no theres nothing wrong with my router)

Best thing I did was swap it for a Blackstone.

It Just works, what more can I say

Don't buy the Omnia, stick with the Blackstone. IMHO its the best phone on the market at this time

[Touch HD General] redrazr7791:
Thanks guys for the opinions, thats why I love this place lol. I'm am out of town right now, but when I get back, I will swing by a Verizon shop and play with the Omnia for a while. Please keep the opinions coming:D

I'm assuming this is the right forum? I'm new here.

As of late, my Incite has been neither vibrating nor flashing when I get a text message. Obviously, I've made sure both of those options are checked in the settings menu. I've even made sure the option for "new text message" in my registry is set to 6. But still, there remains a surprising lack of vibrations and flashes. Any solutions?

Also, my Audio Manager for M2D has been messing up. I had to remove the tab as it caused my phone to freeze, but even when I open the Audio Manager file in my Windows folder, it simply says "Audio Manager" on my top task bar and doesn't open my library or now playing or anything of that nature. This is quite unfortunate, due to the recent death of my Zune (R.I.P.).

On a more off topic note, I've developed this weird rash on my left eyelid. I call it my zombie eye. I've been putting vitamin E on it, but it still gets all flaky and whatnot. Weiiiird ****. Seriously. Is anyone a medical professional of any kind?

It worked for me, i have attached the 2 files you will need to get launch icons without border. First backup your files! Disable Manila copy the files into your Windows folder and restart Manila.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] middorz:
Hi, I've had my Touch HD for a couple of weeks now nearly and loving it and this is my first post on the forum so I hope it's in the right section.

I have a quick question regarding Windows Live Messenger / MSN on the phone. I notice when you sign into your account it will say "signing in as: username" is there any possible way to have more than one account registered so I can switch between them when signing in ? I have both personal and business accounts to use.

On a side note, I know that Fring / Palringo / Nimbuzz etc will allow multple IM accounts but I don't like any of their interfaces and don't really want to have another app installed just for one function if I can help it.

Are there any methods or cab files that will help me out ? Cheers.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] middorz:
So no-one has any ideas ? I can't find anything like this using the search. On a desktop pc you can run "Messenger Plus" from http://www.msgplus.net/ which will enable you to run 2 instances of MSN with differnet users. Is something like this possible on the Touch HD instead ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jbairdhouse:

[Touch HD General] panos123:
I tend to leave it on charge over night, then use it during the day (Browsing, comms etc..).

But then I charge it again halfway thru the day in case I run out of battery if I'm out late at night (more comms). Even if half left.

Then the cycle gets repeated..

Buy a spare battery or is this even more detrimental?
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
You have nothing to worry about as Li-Ion batteries (what the HD uses) do not suffer from the memory effect (which is what you're worried about). Top charging will have no negative affect on the battery. Whatever max battery loss that you might loose overtime is equivalent to if the battery was never used or used 100%-0% every time. Probably after a year or two you may want to get a new battery as the old will no longer hold quite as much charge as it did originally.

[Touch HD General] marcel808:
I got my HD just before Christmas. Initially my battery life was very good lasting 2-3 days on one change.

For the past 3 months I put the phone on charge every night.

I've just had to buy a new battery; it now only holds charge for a few hours of continuous use and after an overnight charge only reaches about 80% capacity.

I know the boffins say Lithium Ion has no memory but my battery is trying to evolve and develop a memory
[Touch HD General] mr london:
2-3days! u couldnt have been on the wap wap then?

well maybe your batt was just ½ defect to begin with and then got worse and worse :)
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
So to confirm again, even if the HD reaches 50% battery life, i can recharge back to 100% with no problem?

Damn i've always heard it to be the other way round. I always hear about people complaining when they leave their nokia phones on charge overnight only to last less and less.
[Touch HD General] Rudegar:
no matter what you do batteries get worse and worse

½defect poor ones sooner then good ones
[Touch HD General] panos123:
thanks guys for response.

I've heard different methods but get confused with lith/li-onetc..

I've heard even with this type its best to run down completely once a while in order for it to "calibrate".

as long as its not too damaging I don't mind charging.

after all what's the point of such a kick-ass screen if I don't take advantage of it.. the whole day!
[Touch HD General] tikejhya:
battery

ofcourse that ture HD battery is not that good as before previously it use to give 1.5 days. every day charge worries me aswell in first few months it use to give battery life equally even if its first 90-100% or 0-10% but now 20% battery is not realiable aswell.
[Touch HD General] Holy Bear:
That's Ni/Cd batteries you're thinking of.

Any lithium battery will hate you for running it down completely; you'll harm it and it won't "calibrate" because of it.
[Touch HD General] bonesy:
ive done the charging overnight method on pretty much all of my phones and have never noticed any dramatic change?i have been told you need to discharge the battery completely once in a while??
[Touch HD General] Holy Bear:
Didn't I answer this in the post before yours?

Don't completely drain a lithium battery.

A unique drawback of the Li-ion battery is that its service life is dependent upon aging (shelf life). From time of manufacturing, regardless of whether it was charged or the number of charge/discharge cycles, the battery will decline slowly and predictably in "capacity". This means an older battery will not last as long as a new battery due solely to its age, unlike other batteries. This is due to an increase in internal resistance, which affects its ability to deliver current, thus the problem is more pronounced in high-current applications than low. This drawback is not widely published. However, as this capacity decreases over time, the time required to charge it also decreases proportionally. Also, high charge levels and elevated temperatures hasten permanent capacity loss for Lithium ion batteries. This heat is caused by the traditional carbon anode, which has been replaced with good results by Lithium titanate. Lithium titanate has been experimentally shown to drastically reduce the degenerative effects associated with charging including expansion and other factors.

At a 100% charge level, a typical Li-ion battery that is full most of the time at 25 °C or 77 °F will irreversibly lose approximately 20% capacity per year. However, a battery in for example a poorly ventilated laptop may be subject to a prolonged exposure to much higher temperatures, which will significantly shorten its life. Different storage temperatures produce different loss results: 6% loss at 0 °C (32 °F), 20% at 25 °C (77 °F), and 35% at 40 °C (104 °F). When stored at 40%–60% charge level, the capacity loss is reduced to 2%, 4%, 15% at 0, 25 and 40 degrees Celsius respectively.

In essence, a battery stored at half capacity will last longer, but ofcourse you want to use it at full capacity. It's an inherent drawback.

Also, Li-ion batteries are not as durable as nickel metal hydride or nickel-cadmium designs, and can be extremely dangerous if mistreated. They may explode if overheated or if charged to an excessively high voltage. Furthermore, they may be irreversibly damaged if discharged below a certain voltage. To reduce these risks, li-ion batteries generally contain a small circuit that shuts down the battery when discharged below a certain threshold (typically 3 V) or charged above a certain limit (typically 4.2 V).
[Touch HD General] Sopis:
wow dude :) you are Gordon Freeman :D
[Touch HD General] panos123:
Whoah! Thanks for that.

can you just clarify one more thing though?

I know the battery tells itself to stop charging once full but how about operating the device whilst charging?

It gets very hot so how bad is this in short term? Dangerously bad?
[Touch HD General] anaadoul:
Really nice info, thank you for that.

not really, i used to have Xperia, and you have to see how that one gets hot!

really HOT, specially Charging + WiFi or GPS!

but nothing happens.

plus high temps (if i remember correctly) something more than 60c so it's so far from there.
[Touch HD General] panos123:
good cos I kinda like it.

Like one of hand warmer things you get from a camping store..
[Touch HD General] Sopis:
Id like to have another question?

Is it OK if I do this?

Sometimes I put my blackstone on charger. It charges up to eg. 80% but I need to go to lunch (I forgot to mentioon that I am at work). So I pull out the charger take the phone and after hour I return and put the phone back on charger...is this bad?

Thanks.
[Touch HD General] playdo:
No, that should do no harm to your battery.

But think about the USB jack. Don't plug it in and out 100 times a day.

My old phone's USB jack lost its stability after the 2 years due to that excessive use.
[Touch HD General] vcespon:
I have another issue. Don't know if it has been discussed on another thread. The battery indicator on the Touch HD is not lineal at all. Once you're below 50% if drops quickly. 20% and 10% are almost inexistent, I get the alert of low battery a few minutes after seeing the battery at 30%.

I had a HTC TyTN II before and at least the battery indicator was more lineal. In the Touch HD I try to charge before it goes below 50%.

I upgraded the ROM to 6.1 awhile back.

Now, I would like to upgrade to the PDAVIET ROM WM6.5 (Core 21502) by TranMinhMan.

However, I'm running into this problem:

I get stuck with the screen showing 4 colors: Red, green, blue. & White.

The red screen saying:

POLA100 MFG

SPL-2.20.OliNex

CPLD-2

Green: nothing

Blue: nothing

White: USB.

& the RUU shows Error 260.

ERROR [260] : CONNECTION

This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.

Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.

I hard reset the phone, reinstalled HardSPL, pretty much did everything but cant get pass that screen.

Thanks for any help.

Try this...

Replace only the ROMUpdateUtility file from some other previous flashed ROM (which you know it worked) over the existing one in the PDA Viet 6.5 ROM file folder. It should be the same size in all ROM's files (1416k or something) and then try again.
